On July 11th, Belta Seal agencies participated in English UK's exclusive presentation - "English UK’s Latest data on the Brazilian market for English courses in the UK" Our President, Alexandre Argenta, welcomed the event and Roz McGill from English UK presented key findings from her association's latest statistical reports - English UK's 2023 annual report and Q1 2024 data. In the last decade, Brazil has become one of the most important countries of origin for the international educational sector. In 2021, it topped the rankings, sending around 675,000 weeks to ELT students around the world. But the UK's share of this total was 7%. Using the intelligence of her association's two statistical schemes, she presented emerging trends. Data on where Brazil is now compared to the previous year and 2019, what the pace and trajectory of the UK's recovery is, which segments are on the rise, which regions of the UK are popular, etc. We would like to thank ENglish UK's long-standing partnership with ENglish UK and everyone who participated in the event.

We congratulate The Labour Party and Sir Keir Starmer on winning the election and forming the new government. We will strive to build close working relationships in the coming weeks and months. Our chief executive, Jodie Gray, said: "English UK will continue campaigning for a supportive business environment for #UKELT... “We are optimistic that a new government will view some of the issues facing our industry with fresh eyes and that aspects of our operating environment will be improved. We are already grateful to Sir Keir Starmer for clarifying in a letter to members in his constituency that Labour’s plans to make private school fees subject to VAT will not apply to ELT centres.    “We’d like to congratulate Sir Keir and his party as well as all the other new MPs in the House. We will begin building relationships with them and encouraging our members to do so in the coming weeks.” >> bit.ly/4cqqsvV
